Hiram Holloway
January 19, 2023
May 11, 1943 – January 12th, 2023
It’s with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of Hiram Emmanuel Holloway. On January 12th, 2023 at age 79, Hiram passed away peacefully at home with his loving wife Ruth by his side.
Hiram is predeceased by his parents, Basil and Annie Holloway, his siblings Roland, Watson, Calvin, Morley, Iris and Geneva. His brothers in-law, Onslow Baker, Frank Skiffington, Roger Pardy, and Harry Brady, and his Sisters-in-law, Irene Holloway and Aurine Pardy.
Survived by his loving wife Ruth, three sons Sean (Josephine), Scott, and Craig (Samantha) Holloway and three grandsons, Mitchell, Leland, and Maximus Holloway. Hiram is also survived by his sisters-in-law Colleen Holloway, Vivian Brady, Audrey Baker, Greta Miller (Randy), Natalie Pardy, and Brother in-law Carl Pardy (Jackie), and countless nieces and nephews.
Born May 11, 1943, and raised in Bloomfield, Newfoundland where he lived his early years, Hiram lost both parents by the time he was 14, and lived with his older siblings in Bloomfield, attending school while boarding with the Greenings during his late teens in Musgravetown. Having many friends and family, Hiram found a home anywhere he hung his coat. He attended The Fisheries and Marine Institute where he studied navigation and began a career on the sea, navigating ships to the West Indies, including Jamaica, Barbados and Caribbean areas. He dropped everything after a blind date with his soon to be wife Ruth, whom he met on April Fool’s day, but it turned out to be two fools in love, as he sold his guitar in order to trade shifts to go on a date with her, and his parka on another occasion to be with her again….only to quit his adventures on the high seas to move to Toronto with his new fiancé.
In 1967 Hiram and Ruth were married in Toronto where they had first two children. While in Toronto Hiram drove bus for Grey Coach during which time he drove many bands including Lighthouse, Dr. Music, Three Dog Night and The Stampeders. During his tours he had the pleasure of meeting great musicians such as Kris Kristofferson, Harry Chapin, Tom Petty, Tom Cochran, Stompin’ Tom Connor and others.
In 1975 their third son was born shortly before they packed up the family and moved to Winnipeg. While in Winnipeg, Hiram drove long haul for trucking companies, followed by a career with Grey Goose and Grey Hound bus lines. During this time, Hiram drove many charters, always making new friends. Many a Newfie relative would move to Winnipeg and stay with Hiram and Ruth, calling it a temporary home away from home. He loved hosting gatherings of family and friends, playing darts and table tennis. If Hiram was home, you were always welcome to come over unannounced for a few hours and talk about his love of music, books, and history.
In 1981 Hiram was diagnosed with stomach cancer, beating it after doctors gave him less than 2 years to live, giving him an extra 42 loving years with his friends and family, enjoying every day given by God. As a result, in 1984, Hiram was baptized into the Seventh Day Adventist Church where he became an Elder and a Deacon, preaching on the teachings in the Bible and the Word of God.
In that 42 years even though Winnipeg was his home, Hiram still longed for Newfoundland and went back often to join friends and relatives, where he fished, laughed, and helped around the harbor. Eventually those short family trips turned into seasonal stays with Ruth after retirement.
In October of 2022, Hiram was once again diagnosed with cancer which he would not beat. In his final days, loved ones poured in to see him daily, and even on his worst days he would put on a brave face and a smile saying “I’m good” when asked how he was doing. His last 3 words would be “I love you” to his wife by his bedside.
Our thanks to Dr. Michael McMillan and Rhonda as well as The Palliative Care Nurses who came daily to care for Hiram.
In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba in Hiram’s memory.
A memorial Service will be held at a later date which will be announced.
